how to find other computers connected to the same router
I have 3 computers connected to a DSL router in my office.
All 3 computers are Dell Pentium 3. All 3 computers run Windows XP Prof. All 3 computers are connected to the Netgear MR814v2 router by Ethernet cables. All 3 computer's "My computer' has 'shared documents' folder and one hard drive folder 'Common' set to share. When I click My Network Place / Microsoft Network, I found this Network named HOMEBASE. But when I click this network, I can only see Desktop1. I do not see other 3 computers online. What do I need to do to connect to all other computers? |

Yes, theXP firewall is designed to protect your computers - primarily from incoming connections from the Internet. Unfortunately, this firewall will also block communications with your internal network computers. The good news is that your router probably includes a firewall which is just as good as the one in XP. If so, you don't need the XP firewall. If you want to run a firewall on you network computers, use a third party product which can be easily configured to allow internal network communication with specific computers.
